perfect. you moved to ladbroke grove, which is the area just north of notting hill. what was it like back then as a young man, and especially as a young black man? i mean, ladbroke grove is a very interesting area, notting hill generally. it's one of the few areas where you can have sort of the wealthiest of the wealthiest aristocrats next to rastafarians next to sort of immigrants, so i loved the energy. i loved the fact that, oh, my god, i really belonged. i started feeling like i belonged in england when we hit ladbroke grove. but i — there was — i remember the front line — ladbroke grove itself was always the front line and the police were there every day, so you had to be so careful — you know, we were stopped so many times, my brothers and i. it's remarkable how much the course of history, whether it's global or personal, can swing on chance meetings and for you, it was when you were on the london underground, when a bloke called simon handed you a card. laughs.
